the ministers of the president really are too much and they are not contribute the country with development bu they are cost of the expenditure of the government
Well another bunch of incompetent, corrupted guys, why they even bother placing their hands on the Quran, we all know where they going to end up –> corruption, deception, lies, abuse??
I think Somalilanders (people) should just ignore any thing called government all together, you are being fed by your relatives abroad, dont give them a share.
At least they are doing something for their country, what are gyes and shakazulu doing except complain and live overseas…You want to do something for your country, go there, work hard and make a difference, otherwise, keep quiet..
Ina Rayale aka Warlord Rayale playing and dismissing them like a deck of cards. Just a total abuse, the only two legitimate and necessary ministers are the two that replaced the deceased ministers, the rest is like replacing a stick with another stick.
What the hell is "minister of tourism" for god sack there is no tourism stop taking tax money with a portfolio that returns no income nor no need for it.
Also what is Minister of resettlement, the war ended 19 years ago, all the people have resettled and returned, those who haven't chose not to return. Please get a real job.
Rayale and his none existing portfolios nothing new. We look forward to hearing who he selects for Minister of Fried Chicken and McDonalds, I can already predict his portfolio would be "to handle all fast food imports"
Alla mesha maxa jogaa odayaal iska camaal la'aan ah.
At least they are doing something for their country, what are,jubba, gyes and shakazulu doing except complain and live overseas…You want to do something for your country, go there, work hard and make a difference, otherwise, keep quiet..
zulu and jubba if u don’t like it come be part of change. ps zulu lander are tired of waiting money from abroad
kariye dont talk like the arrogant UDUB officials without the Diaspora – Somalilanders over seas- life-line remittance, Somalilanders would have slaughtered the all of the government officials for their corruption, so you should not disrespect your fellow Somalilanders for some corrupt officials who will leave tomorrow, otherwise, keep quiet
Good_Citizen, I am only making the point that if you want to affect change in the political arena, go there, don't be living abroad and complaining..you seem to have UDUB on your mind, I am not of UDUB, and I have not said anything about UDUB, as for the remittance, that is never in doubt, all I am saying is that I am tired of please running their mouths off, without even thinking about going to Somaliland and making the changes, you know, people like you, who have a paranoia about UDUB, forget about UDUB, if you are a member of any of the three political parties go there and make a change, as for corruption, these guys make around $200 a month, less than most people like you spend overseas in a week, they are working for their country, what have you done for your country today, Mr. Good Citizen?
